Got it. Appreciate that SC

So, I moved to Hagerty, who monitored the market better at the time.

Never had a claim with either, so can't comment on that.
Interesting. From online form I gathered one could self-determine value. Then company would adjust premium accordingly. Now, speaking with an agent seems necessary to sort out what's what. Your input is appreciated PW.

At one point I had so many cars with them that they had to do something different with my uninsured motorist coverage. I don't recall the details.

After Holly died, I move one car (a Lamborghini) over to Hagerty Private Client Service, as the value had gone up significant;y and Holly's partner wouldn't word with me on the value I needed. The book values of that particular car lagged way behind market prices and there were very few of them in existence, so he didn't have a book value to support what I told him it was worth. You won't likely have this issue.

I was with them so long that they quit asking me for annual mileage certifications.
I gather that's a "no comment" as to whether to insure with them or not---and that's fine. When I speak with them, I will be asking for "Javadog treatment." Perhaps with only one car in hand I won't see full Java-treatment. (Better to ask and run risk of getting a yes than never having asked.) Thanks for comeback Java.


FYI, am also on hunt for health insurance. Dealing with car... much simpler.
